ZEELAND -- That sit-down job could get healthier for workers if they land in the new Embody office chair from Herman Miller Inc.

That's the claim for the mind-body connecting design being unveiled today, touted as the descendent of the company's top-selling Aeron chair. Embody targets the wiggly worker who lives with laptops, flat-screens and wireless devices.

All those technologies boomed after Aeron hit the scene in 1996.

Now, the company said, Embody is better equipped to enhance health and productivity for people in these techno times.

No small task for an office chair, even at $1,595.

"The chair is like prosthetic legs, for a healthy person," project engineer Chris Hill said.
